Hello Jim

I know that GE Silicones were working on new silicone digesters. You could
try them or HumiSeal directly.

Other contacts apart from Dow, would be Wacker or ShinEtsu. I know there is
a material on the market here called "SILSTRIP" but whether that is also in
the US, I don't know.

As you might imagine, any material that will DIGEST silicone, isn't going to
be all that pleasant to handle - but...

On the offers of using cleaning, please be careful because often you only
succeed in spreading the silicone further albeit thinner over this and other
surfaces.

Methylene Chloride might also work.

Regards,
Graham Naisbitt
